I don't think it is a viable build anymore after they nerf shrine gloves. It was actually my go too build before the patch. But you need 85 CDR to run archon without pure power, and 80 to run archon with pure power.
I don't think those number are obtainable without gloves, even with captain crimson set and born set.
Perma-Archon isn't supposed to be obtainable and if it were, Blizzard would very quickly nerf it.
They don't want perma archon and they broke the Hybrid Archon build for this very reason.
Personally I just find it underwhelming for a 2 min CD. Sure it rocks when you leave some insta dying trash to get stacks, but w/o stacks I'm not impressed at all. But maybe that's because my gear is to crappy. Maybe you need high base int & crit for it to rock, I don't know.
I specced/gemmed out of CD reduction and into Dominance and have a much easier time just spamming Arcane Torrent with Hydra.
I'll try Archon again, should this game ever decide to give me good loot. ^^
